New Orleans Pelicans vs. San Antonio Spurs Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - November 23 | 2022-23 NBA Season
The New Orleans Pelicans (10-7) are currently on top of the Southwest Division following their dominant victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday. Their opponents tonight, the San Antonio Spurs (6-12), have not been so fortunate this season, and are coming into this on a five-game losing skid.
Despite a surprisingly strong 5-2 start to the season, the Spurs have crumbled badly in their games since. There is still a fair bit of time to turn their luck around, but it'd require a complete overhaul of both their offense and defense on the court.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. San Antonio Spurs Betting Prediction
Given their dismal run of form lately, the San Antonio Spurs have nearly always been the underdogs this season. The team simply lacks star players and, worse still, Jakob Poeltl, arguably the best they have to offer, is unconfirmed for tonight's game.
The Pelicans, meanwhile, have been in respectable form of late and are 4-1 in their last five games. Their recent win over the Warriors marked the second-highest margin of victory in the franchise's history at 45. Even if Trey Murphy III can't make it to the court tonight, this is the Pelicans' game to win.
Prediction: Pelicans -8 (-105)
